I found . Bourgeois. It does not clog wrinkles, is absorbed in a minute, you can immediately apply blush or blush on top. It does not have a greasy consistency at all, like water. Under the eyes, super-super. Does not emphasize flabbiness.
I buy tone 53, it’s the best for me with a tired gray face, a very natural shade. A slightly light tan for fair skin.
But it won’t cover up the bruises under the eyes; here I apply a little beige shadow to the point.
I was also looking for the most important thing - not to emphasize wrinkles. And then the age is even more visible.

Mine says "123 perfect".
Maybe this is how my skin accepts it?
So far this is the best that has worked for me. I’m already a little over 40, I’ve tried about 20 foundations in my life.
Armani is also quite good, I don’t remember the exact name, it’s also like water and very light, it spreads well into wrinkles.
You should get samples, otherwise by the time you find yours, you will lose so much money.
Also make sure that there is no salicylic acid in the foundation, it is very drying.
None of the Korean ones suited me at all, although people praise them. I tried both with silicones and without them.
I see that this bourgeoisie also contains silicones. I’ve been using it for half a year so far, I have very oily skin, and it’s absolutely indispensable for me in the summer. I don't feel it on my face. He's breathing.
I forgot to add, I mix all foundations with a drop of moisturizer
Try art deco, the foundations are just super, they also have a great concealer with hyaluronic acid perfect teint illuminator, it doesn’t emphasize wrinkles and doesn’t dry out the skin under the eyes. Before using the tone cream base, use an illuminator from any company. Guerlain also has excellent foundations, but they cost an order of magnitude more than art deco.
By the way, the bourgeoisie also emphasizes wrinkles for me, I’ve tried a lot of foundations, but guest 1 likes it, it’s strange
5, I adore the Art Deco company for its shadows. But the base for them and concealers categorically did not suit me. I had three, 5, 6 and 7 numbers. They are awful. I bought from Germany at different times. They reflect too much and do not hide the blue under the eyes. They take sooooo long to dry, you can’t put powder on them afterwards, they get stuck in the wrinkles a lot. Artdeco concealers are very similar to ISL. Also, they are too transparent and shiny.
I haven't tried their foundations.
Bourgeois foundations have different textures, this is the only one that suits me so far. A friend recommended it, I tried it from her, and then bought it.

My skin became terrible. One day I bought the first concealer in my cosmetic bag, inexpensive from Max Factor and Horrible. It not only emphasized wrinkles, but dried out the skin so much that a whole net appeared under the eyes.
I once bought the Pure Smiele/"nj BB cream, it’s just a miracle. It covers everything, you don’t feel it on the skin at all, it moisturizes, you can smear it under the eyes. A real BB cream. Which performs its functions. It heals, moisturizes, and tones. On the face It’s not noticeable at all. And how many of these Dditr’s have I tried. Everything is a thick layer of greasy, like a mask on the face. This cream can only be ordered on the internet. This one has run out, I need to order a new one. Just 10 ml lasts for a month and a half, despite the fact that I I used it every day!
The best anti-aging foundation is Orchid Imperial, Guerlain. It's expensive, of course, but I haven't tried anything better yet. Sisley and Bobby Brown like concealers.
I am 41 years old. With age, the skin, of course, began to lose moisture and there are fine wrinkles. I used different foundations. Now - for two years now - I have been using Artdeco. I like the coverage, it lasts well, this foundation was just perfect for my dry skin. I bought concealer from this German brand and didn’t like it. Also, Ladies, I accidentally bought Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF15 anti-aging foundation about three years ago. Apparently, they haven’t come up with a better foundation for my skin yet. Try at least a sample of this foundation - it’s especially suitable for those with dry skin. I can’t say anything about the foundation from Guerlain - I haven’t used it yet.
Of course Lancom
Leveling foundation with a lifting effect ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND. I've been using it for 10 years. I wouldn't trade it for another. Even when my skin is not in the best condition, I don’t see or feel it on my face. Moreover, he never emphasized any skin imperfections, quite the contrary. I'm 40 years old, and I have something to hide on my face. In short: there is no feeling of a mask, mattifies (I don’t use powder after it), is not noticeable to others, there is definitely a lifting effect!, evens out the skin texture, does not dry out anywhere (I have dry, dehydrated skin). I’ve been using it for 10 years, but recently I accidentally discovered how cool it is. Somehow I didn’t manage to order another bottle on time and had to use my daughter’s foundation (Maybelline). But then I noticed with the naked eye the difference that mine evens out the skin and tightens it! And I always thought that all foundations were like mine. I tried it for the first time with a friend. Her husband then signed up for this garbage. We laughed at him (not a man’s business), but we used the tests he brought. I bought it at that time because they then had it as a moisturizer. I liked it and started using it. Then the lines changed many times. Now Artistry has become noticeably more expensive and I decided to read about it. So, everything that the manufacturer promises in the description on the website is true! He sells it to me at a consultant’s price, if I’m not mistaken, 1700. It’s more expensive in the catalogue. I'm not giving a link. If you need it, you will find it yourself. Read the reviews.

Features of aging skin
Mature skin is easy to distinguish from young skin at first glance. Its main signs are dullness, roughness, wrinkles, loss of elasticity. However, we are unlikely to allow anyone (with the exception of a cosmetologist) to look at our face without makeup. We appear in public fully armed, and foundation is the main item in our beauty arsenal.

Modern foundations can not only disguise imperfections, but also give the skin radiance, provide a slight smoothing effect and even fill out wrinkles. It must be admitted that in the 21st century, foundation creams can easily compete in composition with skin care products.
Properties of foundation for aging skin
Foundations are created taking into account the needs and characteristics of different skin types. In fact, they are a continuation of care, but only with an emphasis on the visual component. Foundations for aging skin, along with new generation pigments, contain components borrowed from anti-age creams and serums. A good foundation for mature skin must meet several requirements at once.
Provide hydration
As we age, the skin is always lacking moisture, so hydrating ingredients in the formula are a must.
Have a light plastic texture
The fluid, serum or two-phase emulsion lays on the skin in an even, thin layer, smoothing out imperfections and not settling into wrinkles and folds. Heavy and dense foundation with a mask effect is contraindicated for mature skin.
Contain SPF factor
We are already accustomed to the fact that foundations contain sun filters. In products intended for mature skin, the SPF may be slightly higher.
Be persistent
Floating makeup for an older woman is a disaster. Stable formulas that can stay on the skin in both heat and cold will help you avoid it.
Contain light-scattering pigments
Optical illusions that create a soft out-of-focus effect can serve well after 40–45 years.
Types of foundation
Since foundation creams can boast caring properties, they can even be expected to correct wrinkles, and not only visually.

Moisturizing. They maintain an optimal level of hydration, preventing moisture from evaporating from the surface of the skin and without blocking access to oxygen.
With lifting effect. These foundations usually contain special polymers that provide a visual lifting effect.
Matting. Yes, mature skin also often suffers from excess shine in the T-zone.
With shine effect. The popularity of this variety is easily explained - when talking about skin, the words “radiant” and “young” are equated. In addition, products in this class optically smooth the skin and retouch imperfections.
Composition of anti-aging foundation creams
Foundations are water-based with the addition of volatile silicones or silicone oils, which retain moisture and protect the skin. In addition, the formula contains waxes, which give the texture plasticity, which allows the product to be evenly distributed. Colored micropigments are responsible for the optical function, which not only cover imperfections and even out skin tone, but also reflect light to give it radiance.

Also often included:
hyaluronic acid for hydration and optical correction of unevenness;
vitamins as an antioxidant (for skin) and preservative (for formula);
plant extracts that moisturize, even out color, fight redness, and soothe;
oils that maintain moisture levels and strengthen the hydrolipid mantle of the skin.
How to prepare your skin for tone application
How to ensure that foundation goes on evenly? A few simple rules will ensure an impeccable result.
Regular exfoliation Dead cells accumulated on the surface of the epidermis make the skin uneven and do not allow the tone to be distributed evenly.
Good hydration The better your face is moisturized, the smoother the foundation will lie. This rule works flawlessly.
Base makeup The primer will smooth and even out the skin, filling in unevenness and fine wrinkles. Plus will provide the foundation with additional durability, which is never superfluous.
Fund rating
This review includes the best foundations for aging skin, according to the editors of skin.ru.

Due to its plastic, but at the same time non-greasy texture, the cream is evenly and easily distributed, smoothing out unevenness, and does not settle into wrinkles. It has good durability and, with regular use, the ability to correct wrinkles and increase skin elasticity thanks to the innovative Collagyl complex.
Corrective foundation fluid Teint Visionnaire, SPF 20, Lancôme
Foundation and concealer can be applied sequentially or pre-mixed for fuller coverage. Together, they not only create the illusion of flawless skin, but also fight age spots and wrinkles thanks to proprietary anti-age ingredients in the composition.

After 45 years, the female body experiences difficult times associated with hormonal changes. Age is merciless, the skin becomes thinner, becomes firmer and more elastic. Other approaches and cosmetic products for face and neck care are required.
Especially for ladies of intelligent age, we have compiled a rating of the best foundations for aging skin, and selected critical reviews.
- Masks uneven terrain;
- Evens out facial skin tone;
- Moisturizes.
Too thick foundation gets stuck into wrinkles and only emphasizes skin unevenness. When a powder tone with a mattifying effect is applied on top, the skin becomes dry and wrinkled. Powder on the thin skin around the eyes creates the effect of dry parchment. It clogs the pores all day and by evening the pattern of wrinkles becomes especially bright. Brrr.
5. Guerlain (Guerlain), France
Fifth place in the rating of foundation creams for aging skin: Guerlain, Parure Gold, smoothing foundation SPF 30. The cost of a dark glass bottle with a 30 ml dispenser is about 5,800 rubles.
The composition of Parure Gold cream is unique. It includes:
- golden pigments that give the skin radiance and even out tone.
- Myrrh oil nourishes the skin and restores youth and vitality.
- Reflective particles, sun protection factor SPF 30, which means it is suitable in spring and summer in bright sunshine.
The manufacturer offers 8 golden yellow and golden pink shades. They visually cover dark spots and pigmentation, erase traces of time and fatigue.
Karina: “I bought the foundation in a tester, it turns out cheaper. The Internet is full of such offers. The aroma of the product is magical, a mix of flowers, expensive powder and luxury. However, the Guerlain brand has always distinguished itself favorably from other companies in its scents.
Parure foundation makes my skin look perfect. Men and girlfriends give compliments. Nice! If he hadn’t once given me yellowness, I would have given him a solid A. And so, 4 plus. I recommend it to those who have money for it."
Maria: “A friend also gave me a Parure Gold tester. At first, a subtle aroma is felt on the face, but it does not have time to become boring and disappears. If we talk about the results without advertising blah blah blah, then the cream should give the skin radiance, smooth out wrinkles, and remove dark spots. What do we really have? In reality, it does not shine, but it looks decent and is practically invisible on the skin. I like."
AnnaKarina: “The Guerlain ParureGold cream with SPF 30 is very long-lasting and stays on for up to 12 hours without slipping or clogging pores. I love the slight glow that the cream gives to the face after application. It seems that the face does not shine, but glows from within, the skin looks well-groomed and “expensive”. At the same time, the product mattifies the skin, making it velvety. Magically! Still, it is rather a dense texture, so when a weightless coating is needed, I mix it in half with liquid meteorites.
To summarize, I can confidently recommend a product that really works and is beautifully designed. A bottle of ParureGold will decorate your dressing table!"
4. MaxFactor (Max Factor), USA
Fourth position: MaxFactor, ColourAdapt foundation. Bottle with dispenser, 34 ml. Price on Yandex Market from 458 rubles.
If you are wondering which inexpensive foundation to buy for aging skin, then pay attention to this new product from Max Factor. What is new? “Smart” cream particles adapt to your skin tone and create an even, natural coverage. In addition, evenness of tone is achieved by the presence of silicone derivatives in the composition.
The manufacturer indicates six shades in the palette:
- 40 - ivory;
- 45 - warm almonds;
- 50 - reddish-beige;
- 55 - pink-beige;
- 70 - natural;
- 75 - golden.
Consumer Opinions
Olga: “Max Factor color adapt outperforms all the foundations I’ve used. And if I add a little moisturizer, I get a mega thin coverage.”
Tanyusha: “I use tone No. 45, “Warm almond.” It seems universal to me. I like almost everything:
- packaging: plastic bottle with dispenser. It's very hygienic.
- The texture is quite light, more like a mousse.
- It applies smoothly to the skin, without streaks.
The coating is not too heavy. I don’t think it will hide serious imperfections, but it covers light acne spots well. Looks natural, no mask effect or foreign object on the face.
The downside is that it is not the most durable coating. Although it’s enough for me, it lasts until the evening. Yes, here’s another thing: in hot weather you have to use matting wipes.”
Larisa, 42 years old: “Yes, age has crept up unnoticed. Pigment spots, noticeable wrinkles appeared on the face, and the skin became uneven in color. I had to find a new foundation. I bought the Color Adapt cream and was not disappointed. He solved my problems, I look like I was 35 years old. The product is instantly absorbed, does not shine, does not stick. There is no need to use powder; it is enough to lightly highlight the cheekbones with blush.”

Customer Reviews
Anastasia: “I won’t hide the fact that I purchased the new product from Bourgeois with caution. After the first use, I noticed that the product visually smoothed out my facial skin. My son noticed that I looked rested. And on the weekend we went skiing, and I exposed my face to the warm March rays without fear. By the way, my friend didn’t like this cream; it doesn’t cover age spots and redness. Might need a proofreader."
AnnaMaria, 52 years old: “It seemed to me that Max Factor is too dense for aging skin - it emphasizes every wrinkle. I prefer lighter textures, but then the covering qualities of the cream are lost. I found a new budget product from Bourgeois, City radiance. The foundation is inexpensive, very light and comfortable on the skin.”
2. Shiseido (Shiseido), Japan
Second place in the rating: Shiseido, Foundation with a radiance effect Future Solution LX. Glass jar, 30 ml. The price fluctuates around 5850 rubles. The product has not yet been promoted and some stores offer gifts, for example, when buying Shiseido cream you receive a gift - cleansing foam (50 ml).
Japan is a recognized leader not only in the production of electronics, but also in innovation in the field of facial care. When developing a new generation of foundations, optical illusion technology was used. Maybe that's why the Future Solution formula allows you to create a perfectly even coverage and flawless skin tone.
Includes:
- Aura Radiance Powder is responsible for maximum light reflection and gives the skin an inner glow.
- The Skingencell 1P component is responsible for blocking the production of a protein that accelerates the aging process.

Marina, 48 years old: “The only weak point of the new foundation from Shiseido is that you have to constantly reach into it with a spatula, this is not very convenient, and not hygienic. I didn’t get used to the product right away; there were difficulties with application. Now before the procedure I spray my face with thermal water.”
